NATO phonetic alphabet

Recently I was looking into getting my pilots license. Fortunately for me, a friend of mine already has his private pilot’s license so I was able to go flying with him and learn some basic stuff. The first thing I figured I had to learn was the Phonetic Alphabet. In fact with my job, I give reference codes to people on the phone all the time, why wasn’t I using the Phonetic Alphabet for that? Here I was just using the first name that came to mind.
